There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. - Albert Einstein

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. - Shawshank Redemption

We walk through our lives so focused on our daily tasks and griefs. It's important to realize that there is always hope, because without fail, there will always be a touch of color - in a hazy shade of winter.

I like the glint of sunlight on the water, and the way the sun almost obscures the buildings.

The sun looks like it is devouring those buildings.

But seriously, those rays of sunlight are absolutely magnificent. What a sight.
